This patent application claims priority to Provisional PatentApplication No. 62/962,090, filed on 16 Jan. 2020, entitled “UPLINKPOWER CONTROL PARAMETERS FOR REPETITIONS OF PHYSICAL UPLINK SHAREDCHANNEL TRANSMISSIONS,” and assigned to the assignee hereof. Thedisclosure of the prior application is considered part of and isincorporated by reference in this patent application.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wirelesscommunication and to techniques and apparatuses for configuring uplinkpower control parameters for repetitions of physical uplink sharedchannel transmissions.

BACKGROUND

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide varioustelecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging,and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employmultiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication withmultiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth,transmit power, and/or the like). Examples of such multiple-accesstechnologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, timedivision multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency-division multipleaccess (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency-division multiple access(OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency-division multiple access(SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multipleaccess (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE).LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal MobileTelecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by theThird Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

A wireless communication network may include a number of base stations(BSs) that can support communication for a number of user equipment(UEs). A UE may communicate with a BS via the downlink and uplink. Thedownlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BSto the UE, and the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communicationlink from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein,a BS may be referred to as a Node B, a gNB, an access point (AP), aradio head, a transmit receive point (TRP), a New Radio (NR) BS, a 5GNode B, and/or the like.

The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in varioustelecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enablesdifferent user equipment to communicate on a municipal, national,regional, and even global level. NR, which may also be referred to as5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated bythe 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internetaccess by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improvingservices, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with otheropen standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDMand/or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spreadOFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supportingbeamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology,and carrier aggregation. However, as the demand for mobile broadbandaccess continues to increase, there exists a need for furtherimprovements in LTE and NR technologies. Preferably, these improvementsshould be applicable to other multiple access technologies and thetelecommunication standards that employ these technologies.

SUMMARY

In some aspects, a method of wireless communication, performed by a userequipment (UE), may include transmitting (e.g. to a first transmissionreception point (TRP)) a first repetition of a physical uplink sharedchannel (PUSCH) communication using a first set of values for a set ofuplink power control (ULPC) parameters; and transmitting (e.g., to asecond TRP), a second repetition of the PUSCH communication using asecond set of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

In some aspects, a UE for wireless communication may include memory andone or more processors operatively coupled to the memory. The memory andthe one or more processors may be configured to transmit (e.g., to afirst TRP) a first repetition of a PUSCH communication using a first setof values for a set of ULPC parameters; and transmit (e.g., to a secondTRP) a second repetition of the PUSCH communication using a second setof values for the set of ULPC parameters.

In some aspects, a non-transitory computer-readable medium may store oneor more instructions for wireless communication. The one or moreinstructions, when executed by one or more processors of a UE, may causethe UE to: transmit (e.g., to a first TRP) a first repetition of a PUSCHcommunication using a first set of values for a set of ULPC parameters;and transmit (e.g., to a second TRP) a second repetition of the PUSCHcommunication using a second set of values for the set of ULPCparameters.

In some aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication may includemeans for transmitting (e.g., to a first TRP) a first repetition of aPUSCH communication using a first set of values for a set of ULPCparameters; and means for transmitting (e.g., to a second TRP) a secondrepetition of the PUSCH communication using a second set of values forthe set of ULPC parameters.

These apparatuses andtechniques will be described in the following detailed description andillustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules,components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, and/or the like(collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may beimplemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whethersuch elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon theparticular application and design constraints imposed on the overallsystem.

It should be noted that while aspects may be described herein usingterminology commonly associated with 3G and/or 4G wireless technologies,aspects of the present disclosure can be applied in othergeneration-based communication systems, such as 5G and later, includingNew Radio (NR) technologies.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a wireless network 100 in which aspectsof the present disclosure may be practiced. The wireless network 100 maybe an LTE network or some other wireless network, such as a 5G or NRnetwork. The wireless network 100 may include a number of BSs 110 (shownas BS 110 a, BS 110 b, BS 110 c, and BS 110 d) and other networkentities. ABS is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UEs)and may also be referred to as a base station, a NR BS, a Node B, a gNB,a 5G node B (NB), an access point, a TRP, and/or the like. Each BS mayprovide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In3GPP, the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a BS and/or a BSsubsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in whichthe term is used.

A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, afemto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover arelatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius)and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. Apico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allowunrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell maycover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allowrestricted access by UEs having association with the femto cell (e.g.,UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). ABS for a macro cell may bereferred to as a macro BS. ABS for a pico cell may be referred to as apico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or ahome BS. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a BS 110 a may be a macro BSfor a macro cell 102 a, a BS 110 b may be a pico BS for a pico cell 102b, and a BS 110 c may be a femto BS for a femto cell 102 c. A BS maysupport one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB”, “basestation”, “NR BS”, “gNB”, “TRP”, “AP”, “node B”, “5G NB”, and “cell” maybe used interchangeably herein.

In some aspects, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and thegeographic area of the cell may move according to the location of amobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to one anotherand/or to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in thewireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces suchas a direct physical connection, a virtual network, and/or the likeusing any suitable transport network.

Wireless network 100 may also include relay stations. A relay station isan entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstreamstation (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send a transmission of the data to adownstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be aUE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In the example shown inFIG. 1, a relay station 110 d may communicate with macro BS 110 a and aUE 120 d in order to facilitate communication between BS 110 a and UE120 d. A relay station may also be referred to as a relay BS, a relaybase station, a relay, and/or the like.

Wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes BSs ofdifferent types, e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, and/orthe like. These different types of BSs may have different transmit powerlevels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interferencein wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs may have a high transmitpower level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico BSs, femto BSs, and relayBSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

A network controller 130 may couple to a set of BSs and may providecoordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 maycommunicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicatewith one another, e.g., directly or indirectly via a wireless orwireline backhaul.

UEs 120 (e.g., 120 a, 120 b, 120 c) may be dispersed throughout wirelessnetwork 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also bereferred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, asubscriber unit, a station, and/or the like. A UE may be a cellularphone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), awireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, alaptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station,a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, anultrabook, a medical device or equipment, biometric sensors/devices,wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smartwrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), anentertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satelliteradio), a vehicular component or sensor, smart meters/sensors,industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device,or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via awireless or wired medium.

Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolvedor enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEsinclude, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters,monitors, location tags, and/or the like, that may communicate with abase station, another device (e.g., remote device), or some otherentity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity for or toa network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellularnetwork) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may beconsidered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implementedas NB-IoT (narrowband internet of things) devices. Some UEs may beconsidered a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be includedinside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as processorcomponents, memory components, and/or the like.

In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a givengeographic area. Each wireless network may support a particular radioaccess technology (RAT) and may operate on one or more frequencies. ARAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface,and/or the like. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, afrequency channel, and/or the like. Each frequency may support a singleRAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference betweenwireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RATnetworks may be deployed.

In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120 a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g.,without using a base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate withone another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate usingpeer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D)communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which mayinclude a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure(V2I) protocol, and/or the like), a mesh network, and/or the like. Inthis case, the UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resourceselection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere hereinas being performed by the base station 110.

As indicated above, FIG. 1 is provided as an example. Other examples maydiffer from what is described with regard to FIG. 1.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a design 200 of base station 110 and UE120, which may be one of the base stations and one of the UEs in FIG. 1.Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234 a through 234 t,and UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252 a through 252 r, where ingeneral T≥1 and R≥1.

At base station 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data from adata source 212 for one or more UEs, select one or more modulation andcoding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channelquality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE, process (e.g., encodeand modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS(s)selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmitprocessor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-staticresource partitioning information (SRPI) and/or the like) and controlinformation (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, and/orthe like) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmitprocessor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals(e.g., the cell-specific reference signal (CRS)) and synchronizationsignals (e.g., the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondarysynchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-inputmultiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing(e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overheadsymbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide Toutput symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232 a through 232 t. Eachmodulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., forOFDM and/or the like) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, andupconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. Tdownlink signals from modulators 232 a through 232 t may be transmittedvia T antennas 234 a through 234 t, respectively. According to variousaspects described in more detail below, the synchronization signals canbe generated with location encoding to convey additional information.

At UE 120, antennas 252 a through 252 r may receive the downlink signalsfrom base station 110 and/or other base stations and may providereceived signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254 a through 254 r,respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify,downconvert, and digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples.Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., forOFDM and/or the like) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254 a through 254 r,perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, andprovide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g.,demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information andsystem information to a controller/processor 280. A channel processormay determine reference signal received power (RSRP), received signalstrength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received quality (RSRQ),channel quality indicator (CQI), and/or the like. In some aspects, oneor more components of UE 120 may be included in a housing.

On the uplink, at UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive andprocess data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., forreports comprising RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, and/or the like) fromcontroller/processor 280. Transmit processor 264 may also generatereference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols fromtransmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 ifapplicable, further processed by modulators 254 a through 254 r (e.g.,for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, and/or the like), and transmitted to basestation 110. At base station 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 andother UEs may be received by antennas 234, processed by demodulators232, detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and furtherprocessed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and controlinformation sent by UE 120. Receive processor 238 may provide thedecoded data to a data sink 239 and the decoded control information tocontroller/processor 240. Base station 110 may include communicationunit 244 and communicate to network controller 130 via communicationunit 244. Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294,controller/processor 290, and memory 292.

Controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280of UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform one ormore techniques associated with configuring ULPC parameters forrepetitions of physical uplink shared channel transmissions, asdescribed in more detail elsewhere herein. For example,controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280of UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform or directoperations of, for example, process 400 of FIG. 4 and/or other processesas described herein. Memories 242 and 282 may store data and programcodes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects,memory 242 and/or memory 282 may comprise a non-transitorycomputer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wirelesscommunication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executedby one or more processors of the base station 110 and/or the UE 120, mayperform or direct operations of, for example, process 400 of FIG. 4and/or other processes as described herein. A scheduler 246 may scheduleUEs for data transmission on the downlink and/or uplink.

In some aspects, UE 120 may include means for transmitting (e.g., to afirst TRP) a first repetition of a PUSCH communication using a first setof values for a set of ULPC parameters; means for transmitting (e.g., toa second TRP) a second repetition of the PUSCH communication using asecond set of values for the set of ULPC parameters; and/or the like. Insome aspects, such means may include one or more components of UE 120described in connection with FIG. 2, such as controller/processor 280,transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252,DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, and/or the like.

As indicated above, FIG. 2 is provided as an example. Other examples maydiffer from what is described with regard to FIG. 2.

A UE may configure a set of ULPC parameters for transmitting a PUSCHcommunication. The UE may select a set of values for the set of ULPCparameters based at least in part on an indicator within a downlinkcontrol information (DCI) communication (e.g., a DCI communication thatschedules the PUSCH communication). For example, the indicator may be asounding reference signal (SRS) reference indicator (SRI) power controlidentifier that is associated with the PUSCH communication.

The UE may transmit repetitions of the PUSCH communication to improvereliability and/or robustness of the PUSCH communication. For example, aBS may configure a UE to transmit a plurality of repetitions of the samePUSCH communication (e.g., a plurality of repetitions of the same PUSCHtransport block), where each repetition may be directed to a TRP among aplurality of TRPs in a multi-TRP configuration, an antenna panel among aplurality of antenna panels in a multi-panel configuration, or anantenna among a plurality of antennas in a multi-antenna configuration.Thus, if an access link between the UE and a TRP (or antenna panel orantenna) is blocked such that a repetition transmitted to the TRP is notreceived, another repetition transmitted to another TRP (or antennapanel or antenna) may be received such that the PUSCH communication canbe decoded.

However, in instances where the UE transmits a first set of repetitionsto a first TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) and a second set ofrepetitions to a second TRP (or antenna panel or antenna), the same setof values for the set of ULPC parameters are applied to all of therepetitions regardless of the TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) to whichthe repetitions are transmitted, a difference in pathloss betweentransmissions to the first TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) andtransmissions to the second TRP (or antenna panel or antenna), and/orthe like.

In some aspects described herein, a UE may transmit (e.g., to a firstTRP, a first antenna panel, or a first antenna), a first repetition of aPUSCH communication (e.g., associated a transport block) using a firstset of values for a set of ULPC parameters. The UE may transmit (e.g.,to a second TRP, a second antenna panel, or a second antenna), a secondrepetition of the PUSCH communication using a second set of values forthe set of ULPC parameters. In this way, the UE is able to transmit thefirst repetition to the first TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) with aset of values for the set of ULPC parameters that are configured fortransmitting to the first TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) and totransmit the second repetition to the second TRP (or antenna panel orantenna) with a set of values for the set of ULPC parameters that areconfigured for transmitting to the second TRP (or antenna panel orantenna). This may conserve power, computing, and/or network resourcesthat may otherwise be consumed by transmitting to each TRP (or antennapanel or antenna), regardless of pathloss or other factors to beconsidered with configuring the set of ULPC parameters, using the sameconfiguration of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

For ease of explanation, the description to follow will relate to a UEthat is configured to transmit a plurality of repetitions of a PUSCHcommunication to different TRPs in a multi-TRP configuration. It is tobe understood that the description equally applies to a UE that isconfigured to transmit a plurality of repetitions of a PUSCHcommunication (e.g., of a same transport block) to different antennapanels in a multi-panel configuration and/or different antennas in amulti-antenna configuration.

FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams illustrating an example 300 of configuringULPC parameters for repetitions of physical uplink shared channeltransmissions, in accordance with various aspects of the presentdisclosure. FIGS. 3A and 3B show a UE (e.g., UE 120), a first TRP (e.g.,base station 110), and a second TRP (e.g., base station 110). In someaspects, the UE, the first TRP, and the second TRP may be included in anetwork, such as wireless network 100. In some aspects, the UE maycommunicate with the first TRP or the second TRP on a wireless accesslink, which may include a downlink and an uplink.

As shown in FIG. 3A, and by reference number 310, the UE may receive aconfiguration message. In some aspects, the UE receives theconfiguration message from the first TRP, the second TRP, another TRP ofthe network, a network controller (e.g., network controller 130), and/orthe like.

In some aspects, the configuration message may provide a mapping for aplurality of indications to a plurality of sets of values for a set ofULPC parameters. For example, the mapping may include a set ofindications that are mapped to respective sets of candidate values forthe set of ULPC parameters. The mapping may indicate that, based atleast in part on receiving an indication of the set of indications, theUE is to configure the set of ULPC parameters with a set of values thatare mapped to the indication. In some aspects, the mapping may indicatethat, based at least in part on receiving an indication (e.g.,comprising a first indicator and/or a second indicator) of the set ofindications, the UE is to configure the set of ULPC parameters with afirst set of values for transmitting a first repetition of a PUSCHcommunication and to configure the set of ULPC parameters with a secondset of values for transmitting a second repetition of the PUSCHcommunication (e.g., the first repetition and the second repetition maybe associated with a single transport block). In some aspects, theindication may include a first indicator that maps to the first set ofvalues and a second indicator that maps to the second set of values.

In some aspects, the set of ULPC parameters may include values for P0,alpha, a pathloss reference signal, a closed loop index, and/or atransmit power control (TPC) command. The set of ULPC parameters may beused in a power control formula to determine a transmission power fortransmitting a repetition of the PUSCH communication. In some aspects,P0 may represent a target received power, alpha may represent acompensation factor in a power control formula, and the pathlossreference signal may indicate an amount of pathloss (e.g., an amount ofsignal power lost during transmission to a TRP). One or more parameters,such as P0, alpha, and/or pathloss (e.g., determined from a pathlossreference signal) may comprise an open loop portion of the ULPC and oneor more additional parameters, such as closed loop index and/or TPCcommand may comprise a closed loop portion of the set of ULPCparameters. The closed loop portion of the set of ULPC parameters maycomprise one or more parameters that are based at least in part oninformation received from the network (e.g., a TRP)

In some aspects, the configuration message may include a configuredgrant. The configured grant may indicate the first set of values and thesecond set of values within the configured grant. For example, theconfigured grant may include an indication (e.g., including a firstindicator and a second indicator) mapped to the first set of values andmapped to the second set of values. In some aspects, the configuredgrant may include the first set of values and the second set of valueswithin the configured grant (e.g., without an indication in a separate(e.g., DCI) communication). For example, the configured grant mayindicate a first closed loop index associated with the first set ofvalues and a second closed loop index associated with the second set ofvalues.

In some aspects, the configured grant may be a type 1 configured grant(e.g., provided via radio resource control (RRC) signaling and stored asa configured uplink grant) or a type 2 configured grant (e.g., providedby a communication via a physical downlink control channel, and storedor cleared as a configured uplink grant based at least in part on layer1 signaling to activate or deactivate the configured uplink grant). Insome aspects in which the configured grant is a type 1 configured grant,the configured grant may indicate a first value for a first pathlossreference signal (PL RS) of the first set of values and a second valuefor a second PL RS of the second set of values.

In some aspects in which the configured grant is a type 2 configuredgrant, the UE may be configured to receive an indication of a firstvalue for a first PL RS of the first set of values and a second valuefor a second PL RS of the second set of values. Based at least in parton the indication, the UE may configure the set of ULPC parameters withthe first set of values comprising the first value for the first PL RSand configure the set of ULPC parameters with the second set of valuescomprising the second value for the second PL RS.

As shown by reference number 320, the UE may receive an indication ofsets of values for a set of ULPC parameters. In some aspects, theindication may comprise a single DCI communication (e.g., a same DCIcommunication that schedules the PUSCH communication). In some aspects,the indication may include one or more indicators that map to one ormore values for configuring the set of ULPC parameters and/or mayindicate whether the UE is to apply the one or more values to the firstset of values or the second set of values. For example, a singleindicator may identify an entire set of values, a partial set of values,or a single value of a set of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

In some aspects, the indication may include a single SRI power controlidentifier (e.g., sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId) for the PUSCH communication(e.g., within an SRI field of a DCI communication that schedules thePUSCH communication). The single SRI power control identifier may bemapped to the first set of values and the second set of values for theset of ULPC parameters (e.g., two P0 values, two alpha values, two PL RSvalues, two closed loop index values, and/or the like).

In some aspects, one or more indications may be mapped (e.g., based atleast in part on the configuration message) to a single set of valuesfor the set of ULPC parameters. If the UE receives an indication thatmaps to a single set of values for the set of ULPC parameters, the UEmay apply the single set of values to the first repetition, the secondrepetition, or both repetitions (e.g., based at least in part on anindicator within the indication, based at least in part on atransmission order of the repetitions, and/or the like).

In some aspects, the UE may be configured to use a first SRS resourceand a second SRS resource for transmitting a first SRS communication anda second SRS communication, respectively. In some aspects, each SRSresource may be separately configured with respective sets of values forthe set of ULPC parameters. The first SRS resource may be configured touse, for transmitting the first SRS communication, a set of values(e.g., the first set of values) and the second SRS resource may beconfigured to use, for transmitting the second SRS communication,another set of values (e.g., the second set of values).

In some aspects, the UE may receive the indication to identify the firstSRS resource and the second SRS resource. The indication may identifythe first SRS resource and the second SRS resource via an SRI field(e.g., an SRI codepoint field) of the DCI. Based at least in part on theindication, the UE may use the first set of values for transmitting thefirst repetition (e.g., based at least in part on the indicationidentifying the first SRS resource associated with the first set ofvalues) and the UE may use the second set of values for transmitting thesecond repetition (e.g., based at least in part on the indicationidentifying the second SRS resource associated with the second set ofvalues). In this way, an SRI power control identifier is not requiredfor transmitting the PUSCH communication based at least in part on theUE configuring values for the set of ULPC parameters based at least inpart on values associated with SRS resources indicated by an SRI fieldof the DCI.

In some aspects, the first set of values identifies a first closed loopindex for the first repetition and the second set of values identifies asecond closed loop index for the second repetition. The indication mayinclude a TPC value that indicates a first TPC command associated withthe first closed loop index and/or a second TPC command associated withthe second closed loop index. For example, the DCI may include the firstTPC command in a first set of bits (e.g., a first bit and a second bit)of a DCI field (e.g., a TPC field) and may include the second TPCcommand in a second set of bits (e.g., a third bit and a fourth bit) ofthe DCI field (e.g., the TPC field).

As shown by reference number 330, the UE may configure the set of ULPCparameters with the first set of values for the first repetition of thePUSCH communication and with the second set of values for the secondrepetition of the PUSCH communication.

In some aspects, when the indication comprises a first TPC commandassociated with the first closed loop index and a second TPC commandassociated with the second closed loop index, the UE may determine thatthe first TPC command is associated with the first closed loop indexbased at least in part on a first indicator of the indication and maydetermine that the second TPC command is associated with the secondclosed loop index based at least in part on a second indicator of theindication. In some aspects, the UE may determine that the first TPCcommand is associated with the first closed loop index based at least inpart on the first TPC command being indicated in a first ordered set ofbits in a DCI field (e.g., an SRI field) and may determine that thesecond TPC command is associated with the second closed loop index basedat least in part on the second TPC command being indicated in a secondordered set of bits in the DCI field (e.g., an SRI field).

In some aspects, in which a DCI communication (e.g., comprising theindication) comprises a TPC command associated with one of the firstclosed loop index or the second closed loop index, the UE may determinethat the TPC command is associated with one of the first closed loopindex or the second closed loop index based at least in part on anindicator in the DCI communication, the first closed loop index being aninitial closed loop index in a set of closed loop indexes, and/or thelike.

In some aspects, the UE may apply a single TPC command to a first closedloop associated with the first closed loop index and/or to a secondclosed loop associated with the second closed loop index. In otherwords, the UE may apply the single TPC command to only one of the closedloops or to both of the closed loops.

In some aspects where the configuration message comprises a configuredgrant, the UE, based at least in part on the configured grant, mayconfigure the set of ULPC parameters with the first set of values fortransmitting the first repetition and may configure the set of ULPCparameters with the second set of values for transmitting the secondrepetition. In some aspects where the configured grant is a type 1configured grant, the UE may determine the first set of values (e.g.,including a first PL RS) and the second set of values (e.g., including asecond PL RS) within the configured grant and/or from anothercommunication from the network. In some aspects where the configuredgrant is a type 2 configured grant, the UE may determine the first setof values (e.g., including a first PL RS) and the second set of values(e.g., including a second PL RS) based at least in part on an indicationof a first value for the first PL RS of the first set of values and asecond value for the second PL RS of the second set of values. Based atleast in part on the indication, the UE may configure the set of ULPCparameters with the first set of values comprising the first value forthe first PL RS and may configure the set of ULPC parameters with thesecond set of values comprising the second value for the second PL RS.

As shown in FIG. 3B, and by reference number 340, the UE may transmitone or more repetitions of the PUSCH communication to the first TRPbased at least in part on values configured for the set of ULPCparameters. For example, the UE may transmit the first repetition of thePUSCH communication to the first TRP using the first set of values forthe set of ULPC parameters. As shown by reference number 350, the UE maytransmit one or more repetitions (e.g., including the second repetition)of the PUSCH communication to the second TRP based at least in part onvalues configured for the set of ULPC parameters. For example, the UEmay transmit the second repetition of the PUSCH communication to thesecond TRP using the second set of values for the set of ULPCparameters.

In some aspects, the UE may transmit additional repetitions (e.g., inaddition to the first repetition and the second repetition) to the firstTRP and/or the second TRP. The UE may use the first set of values and/orthe second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters for transmittingthe additional repetitions. In some aspects, the UE may select the firstset of values or the second set of values for the set of ULPC parametersof a particular additional repetition based at least in part on amapping of the particular additional repetition of the PUSCHcommunication to the first set of values (e.g., to the first repetition)or to the second set of values (e.g., to the second repetition). In someaspects, the mapping may be configured based at least in part on a fixedmapping configuration. For example, the UE may use the indication todetermine that the UE is to use the first set of values for odd numberedrepetitions (e.g., in a sequential order of repetitions) and to use thesecond set of values for even numbered repetitions (or vice versa). Inother words, the UE may alternate between using the first set of valuesand the second set of values for transmitting successive repetitions ofthe PUSCH communication. In some aspects, the mapping may be configuredbased at least in part on RRC signaling, a DCI communication (e.g.,dynamically), and/or the like.

Based at last in part on the UE transmitting the first repetition to thefirst TRP with a set of values for the set of ULPC parameters that areconfigured for transmitting to the first TRP and transmitting the secondrepetition to the second TRP with a set of values for the set of ULPCparameters that are configured for transmitting to the second TRP, theUE may conserve power, computing, and/or network resources that mayotherwise be consumed by transmitting to each TRP, regardless ofpathloss or other factors to be considered with configuring the set ofULPC parameters, using the same configuration of values for the set ofULPC parameters.

As shown in FIG. 3C, a TPC command field may include a set of bits(e.g., a set of 2 bits) that can be mapped according to a TPC mapping(e.g., based at least in part on the configuration message). In someaspects, the TPC command may be accumulated (e.g., based at least inpart on an adjustment from a previous TPC value). In some aspects, theTPC command may be absolute (e.g., a value that is independent from aprevious TPC value). In some aspects, the UE may be configured tointerpret a TPC command as accumulated or as absolute based at least inpart on configuration information (e.g., within the configurationmessage). In some aspects, the DCI message may include two TPC commandfields (e.g., a TPC command field with 4 bits to receive two TPC commandfield values in 2-bit portions of the TPC command field).

As shown in FIG. 3D, the configuration message may provide configurationinformation to map an SRI power control identifier with two sets ofvalues for the set of ULPC parameters. For example, the mapping mayinclude a sequence of values for one or more of the ULPC parameters. InFIG. 3D, sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId refers to an SRI power controlidentifier, sri-PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS-Id refers to a PL RSidentifier, sri-P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId refers to a P0 and alpha identifier,and sri-PUSCH-ClosedLoopindex refers to a closed loop index identifier.

As shown in FIG. 3E, a value in a TPC command field may map to twoseparate TPC commands based on a mapping that can be configured via RRCsignaling, fixed in a protocol, and/or the like. For example, a TPCcommand field value of 0 may map to TPC commands of (−1,0), a TPCcommand field value of 1 may map to TPC commands of (0,−1), a TPCcommand field value of 2 may map to TPC commands of (0,0), and a TPCcommand field value of 3 may map to TPC commands of (3,1) to apply tothe first closed loop index and the second closed loop index.

As shown in FIG. 3F, a DCI communication may provide two sets of valuesfor the set of ULPC parameters to apply to a plurality of repetitions.In some aspects, the first set of values for the set of ULPC parametersmay apply to a PUSCH transmission occasion 1 and a PUSCH transmissionoccasion 3. The second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters mayapply to a PUSCH transmission occasion 2 and a PUSCH transmissionoccasion 4. This configuration of alternating between the sets of valuesfor the set of ULPC may be based at least in part on the configurationmessage (e.g., via RRC signaling). In some aspects, the UE may useanother mapping pattern, such as using the first set of values for theset of ULPC parameters for the PUSCH transmission occasions 1 and 2 andthe second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters for the PUSCHtransmission occasions 3 and 4.

As indicated above, FIGS. 3A-3F are provided as one or more examples.Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to FIGS.3A-3F.
